Council gave the nod to the borough's law committee to advertise an ordinance of regulations and standards for landlords and tenants. The proposed ordinance requires landlords to tally their tenants and properties by fall.

"It puts a smile on my face," Fischl said about the vote.

Landlords would undergo inspections every five years under the plan. The borough could then cite landlords for such violations as overcrowding.

The borough in the 1990s listed all landlords and tenants, but Fischl said the list hadn't been maintained for years.

In other business, Councilman Frank Maurek said he plans to make a motion at next month's meeting for profitable organizations to pay a special insurance fee when holding borough events.

The borough last month stopped requiring organizations to contribute to the cost of police service during races, parades and other events. Instead, council plans to revise that policy, but it remains unclear what changes will be made.
